The MMA Tete-A-Tete: UFC 146 Preview, Jon Jones' Arrest, Nick Diaz and Chael Sonnen NSAC Hearings

Luke Thomas of MMA Fighting and I, Nate Wilcox of Bloody Elbow, are back for another installment of MMA Tete-A-Tete, Coarsening The Discourse.

On this edition we discuss:

  • The arrest for suspicion of drunk driving of UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones, what this means for the UFC and his career;
  • We hate on Bentleys;
  • The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) hearing at which they green-lighted Chael Sonnen to get a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT);
  • The NSAC's decision at that same hearing to hand down a 12-month suspension to Nick Diaz for marijuana;
  • We also talk about the UFC 146 card;
  • I'm still pining for the original Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem title fight but Luke thinks this is still a top-notch card.
  • He twists my arm and I admit that it remains a very exciting fight card.

Enjoy!
